Hi,

Just wondering if anybody has done (or knows somebody who has done) a head to head transfer in the civil service? I've advertised through our union newsletter and am interested in following through on one but am not sure of my rights in relation to this transfer - can it be vetoed by either organisation?

Any information greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

It unusual for such a transfer to be vetoed except on sick leave or disciplinary grounds. PM me if you like..
 
Forgive the ignorance but whats a "head to head transfer"? Is it a CS thing?

Yes, sorry, it's basically a job swap where you swap positions with somebody at the same grade/level as you in a different department or organisation!
 
The process was originally referred to as a Head-for-Head transfer which is a more accurate description of what occurs (whilst also capturing beautifully the value placed on the unique contribution of the individual in the public sector :rolleyes:).

Somehow, it became known as a head-TO-head transfer which, to me anyway, sounds a lot more mysterious.
